The Río Blanco (Spanish for "white river") is a river of Chile. It originates close to Cerro Altar and flows generally northward for 15 km (9.3 mi) until it joins the Juncal River, at an altitude of approximately 1,430 m (4,690 ft),[1] forming the Aconcagua River. The mouth of the river is located close to Chile Route 60.

Los Leones River is the main tributary of the river.[1] The inferior course of the Río Blanco is adjacent to Río Blanco National Reserve.
